Sec. 901.2. Return of debit card funds.

A. As allowed for under federal law, the Director is authorized to directly request and accept the return of funds from a debit card issuer for any debit card account that received benefits, if there is no transfer of funds through the benefits system to the debit card account during the preceding 12 months and if the account has never been activated.

B. As provided under federal law, the Director may directly request and accept the return of funds from a debit card issuer for any debit card account that received benefits and was activated if no transaction has been conducted on the account during the preceding 12 months and the individual associated with the account received benefits for which the individual was determined to be ineligible. The amount that the Director is authorized to accept from the debit card issuer under this subsection is limited to the amount of benefits an individual received for which the individual was determined to be ineligible and any penalties provided for in this Act and rules adopted under this Act.

C. Any funds recovered under this Section shall be returned to the fund from which they were withdrawn.
